DEZELL SAYS CROP DAMAGE LESSENS (Continued from Page 1) losses if damages result, will be assessed alike. In California, according to Mr. Dezell, conditions are different, for hundreds of sheltered places exist among the foothills and gulches where frosts rarely ever come. The ranchers in these places are averse to paying insurance premiums, or the same rates charged those whose groves are in exposed lands where they are subject to damage. Conclusions drawn from experiments, says Mr. Dezell, are that the growers located where there is frost danger can best carry their own insurance by improving their heating systems. In almost all cases in So. Cal., adequate heating facilities prove a complete safeguard in average cases, and by improving these facilities the members of the exchange hope to completely protect the citrus groves of California. It is believed that the expense of such heating will be less than the premiums on insurance. However, the insurance of crops might be tried out but for the fact that the insurance companies—who are willing under proper conditions to accept the risk for the exchange as a whole—cannot determine accurate methods of assessing the individual premiums, nor arrive at a set of rules which will apply to all ranchers alike. The damage this year has set the experts to work to devise a better system for heating, especially for use in the most exposed places. Ordinarily these exposed points are in no danger, but the sudden freezes—which come very rarely—hit them hard and unexpectedly. An exceptionally large lemon crop had been expected this year. It was estimated that something like 15,000 carloads would have been shipped from California, had average conditions prevailed, where ordinarily 11,000 or 12,000 cars would have been a big crop. It is estimated that the total shipment cost for this year's crop would be $4 million. PLAN 500-MILE TRIP FOR NAT'L REALTORS A 500-mile auto tour will be given realtors from outside the state who attend the annual convention of the National Association of Real Estate Boards, which will begin at San Francisco May 31. The tour first was proposed just before the opening of the annual California Real Estate Association meeting in Oakland. The route has been selected with the view of taking in the finest scenery in the Southland. Pilot and repair cars will be supplied by the Automobile Club of Southern California. William May Garland and Herman Janss, both of Los Angeles, have been appointed chairman and vice-chairman of the committee. PROCLAIM "BUILD HOME NOW WEEK" SACRAMENTO, Mar. 13. — "Own Your Home and Build Now Week" will begin March 19, according to a proclamation of Governor William D. Stephens. The proclamation says: "Whereas, there exists in California and its rapidly growing cities and town a very great shortage of housing. I deem this moment opportune to call upon the people of the state of California to co-operate with their local reality boards, C. of C., B. of T., and civic, business and industrial interests of their communities to relieve this pressing need for more homes. Therefore, in recognition of the splendid work that the realtors of California are doing through the California Real Estate Ass'n in behalf of home ownership and city building, I decree and designate that the week beginning Sunday, March 19, shall be known in California as "Own Your Home and Build Now Week," and I most earnestly call upon all interested in this great work to give due support and encouragement to the campaign, that the demand for houses may be relieved and properly in- NEIGHBORLIKE MEXICAN (Continued from above) Miss Mackey meets women every afternoon she has to speak to a some men like the like occasions.

Ordinarily these exposed points are in no danger, but the sudden freezes—which come very rarely—hit them hard and unexpectedly. An exceptionally large lemon crop had been expected this year. It was estimated that something like 15,000 carloads would have been shipped from California, had average conditions prevailed, where ordinarily 11,000 or 12,000 cars would have been a big crop. It is estimated that the total shipment now will be 8500 to 9000 cars. Lemons were not so far advanced as oranges and the fruit was not so heavily hit by the frost, although the foliage looked just as bad. A peculiar condition affects lemons at the present time. Hearing of the frost damage in California, eastern importers sent representatives into the citrus country to estimate the crop. These men took one look at the deadened leaves and fallen fruit and wired back that the crop was destroyed. Their principals immediately imported several shipments of lemons from Italy and other points and threw them into the breach. But the eastern market is not ready for the rush and the California crop is not destroyed. Consequently, having to pay a heavy duty and not gaining the advantage of the expected higher prices, the importers are now unloading their cargoes at a loss and have stopped further shipments. Meanwhile California lemons are not hurt much by the competition, because at this season very few lemons are shipped anyhow. Later on, when the California product is ready, the competing lemon shipments will have been used up and the market will improve for our goods. In most localities lemons will bring a fair return and, though total profits may not be so great, losses will be less than anticipated. Mr. Dezell is proving a good executive, say his associates. He has been attending to details of citrus marketing for 25 years, growing up in the business and become thoroughly familiar with all features thereof. "I know I have a difficult task on hand to fill the place of Mr. Powell," he said today. "All any man can do is his best, and I shall endeavor to relieve this pressing need for more homes." Therefore, in recognition of the splendid work that the realtors of California Real Estate Ass'n in behalf of home owning and city building, I decree and designate that the week beginning Sunday, March 19, shall be known in California as "Own Your Home and Build Now Week," and I most earnestly call upon all interested in this great work to give due support and encouragement to the campaign, that the demand for houses may be relieved and properly increased in every community." SECURE CLEWS TO WATTS MURDER LOS ANGELES, March 13. — Hot clews to the identity of the burglar who shot and killed Fred L. Stors, 756 Success street, Watts, after robbing the Stors home were followed today by deputy sheriffs detailed to the case. Deputy Sheriffs Cooper, Conly, Harrington and Seth, under the command of Capt. Hotz announced after a thorough questioning of neighbors and a search of the Stors premises that they had obtained clews which they believed would lead to the arrest of the desperado. BOOZE SEIZED AT WHITTIER WHITTIER, March 13. — Stocks of wines worth $10,000 have been seized here by F. A. Hazeltine, Prohibition Agent, City Marshal Leo Ballou and Night Marshal C. F. Bigbee. Antonio Merl of the Merl Winery was arrested, charged with violating the Volstead act. Merlo conducted a large still back of the winery, the officers declare. do that. Mr. Powell's personality, his enthusiasm and his energy, outside of his extraordinary ability, made him a wonderfully successful man." Yet things are going on as though Mr. Powell were merely away on a vacation; and so they will probably continue to proceed for the citrus growers of California. Mr. Dezell seems the one best fitted above all others to step into the place. A serious, studious man with great executive ability, his should be a safe and sound administration.

No druggist who values him in his neighborhood will recommend tary medicine unless he is absolutely has real merit. It would be busi for him to sell and endorse an inf That's why we take great pride in presenting below the candid opinions of a few o thousands of druggists who are now selling and recommending Dr.A.W.Chase's Medicine. The Vancouver Drug Co., Ltd., Victoria, B.C. writes: "Dr. Chase's Medicines are always in demand, and there are many repeat orders. There is a reason—Dr. Chase's Medicines are reliable." Mr. T. T. Beattie, Druggist, 462 Bronson Ave., Ottawa, Ont., writes: "I always recommend Dr. Chase's Medicines with perfect confidence, as I receive continual evidence that they are splendid result-producers. In particular I have found Dr. Chase's Kidney-Liver Pills very efficacious. They are among the very best simple sellers and the handling of these goods is highly satisfactory." Mr. Frank Hyde, Druggist, Woodstock, Ont., writes: "Among our best selling proprietary medicines, Dr. Chase's have a foremost place. They are necessary in every drug store, so permanent is the demand for them." Mr. A. P. Chown, Druggist, Kingston, Ont., writes: "Dr. Chase's Medicines have for many years had a steady sale and give good results and satisfaction." Macartney's Drug Store, Stratford, Ont., writes: "The demand for Dr. Chase's Medicines is very steady and in considerable proportion. Our investigation clearly shows that Dr. Chase's Medicines are recognized by the Druggists and the people as staple sellers and reliable medicines." Mr. Frank J. Hoag, Druggist, Kingston, Ont., writes: "Having handled the Dr. Chase's line of family medicines for fully twenty-five years, I have no hesitancy in saying that we consider them among our best sellers, as well as most reliable family medicines." Mr. A. E. DuBerger, Druggist, Sherbrooke, Que., writes: "I have handled Dr. Chase's lines of medicines for years, and I find that, as proprietary medicines, this line is one of the ones—if not THE one—that gives the most general satisfaction to my customers." Mr. O. J. Gill, Druggist, Ingersoll, Ont., writes: "Dr. Chase's Medicines have a steady sale with us the year round, and we have always found them to be very reliable medicines." Mr. E. G. Moxon, Dr Truro, N.S., writes: "For a considerable time Dr. Chase's prepa been one of our sta medicines. Our patr highly reliable and We consider them and ing sellers and we a keep them for sale."

The Mexicans must be taught to help themselves. She herself was an object of philanthropy the first morning she woke, when to her house, which she opened in the colony itself, one Mexican woman brought a bottle of milk for her breakfast and another invited her to breakfast. Later another invited her to use her bath. Miss Mackey meets a class of adult women every afternoon except when she has to speak to a number of handsome men like the Rotarians and on like occasions. Housekeeping and baby care are the means adapted to teach English, just as orange picking and the like are the subjects by which the men are taught English. Charts with large print and pictures at the top, illustrating the subject, are used. One of the ways by which the women were persuaded to clean their houses inside and beautify them was to make pretty little lamp shades out of crepe paper. The shades contrasted so strongly with the electric globe, that the women cleaned the latter as a matter of course. Then the brighter light showed up the walls and floors to such bad advantage that the improvement of the latter followed, improvement of the walls was due directly to the placing on the walls of pretty magazine covers. Similarly seeds and cuttings were procured for the gardens, for the making of which the Mexican women have a natural talent. The men, not to be outdone, planted vegetable gardens, and the cleaning up of all space about the houses, and removal of cows, goats, chickens, etc., to a distance followed. There is reason to respect the Mexicans, for in many a Mexican camp and community much talent if not genius is buried. The La Habra colony, for example, has a man, Francisco Espania, who gets $200 for wood carvings, stove of which are placed in Catholic churches in Los Angeles. A picture of a remarkable carving Bull on Rampage Routes Hotel Guests RED BLUFF, March 13.—Undoubtedly attrated by the atmosphere, an escaped bull made the lobby of the Concordia hotel look like the proverbial china shop recently when it crashed in and put a group of story tellers gathered around the store to raut. The loungers ducked under tables and behind counters and the bull dashed out of the front door. It had escaped from a herd that John Metzgar was unloading and had been on display at the Davis Farm stock show. MADALYNNE GIVEN FINAL GRILLING LOS ANGELES, March 13.—Surprise witnesses for the prosecution, called in rebuttal, were today expected to spring a new sensation in the trial of Mrs. Madelynne Obenchain, charged with the murder of J. Belton Kennedy. The names of the witnesses and their evidence was kept secret. The defense was expected to complete its case soon after the cross-examination of Mrs. Obenchain by Deputy District Attorney Keyes was concluded today. When Mrs. Obenchain took the stand at the resumption of the trial this morning Keyes announced that his cross-examination would be completed in an hour. Keyes was prepared to call several witnesses in rebuttal after the defense completed its case. It was expected that the final arguments of the attorneys to the jury will be started tomorrow morning. The indications today were that the case will go to the jury Wednesday noon. MOTOR CAR SCION LANDS IN JAIL KALAMAZOO, Mich., March 13—John Duval Dodge ,seion of the millionaire automobile family of Detroit, was in jail today charged with driving an automobile while intoxicated and violation of the state liquor laws. The arrest of Dodge and Rex Earl, a Kalamazoo youth, followed what Prosecutor Stephen Wattles characterized a "wild party" Saturday night, climaxed by a young normal student girl diving from a speeding automobile onto a country road. The girl was seriously injured and lay in the road for some time before being picked up by a farmer. The injured girl, it was learned, was Miss Emilline Kwackerneck, also of Grand Rapids. She was in her second year at the normal school here. HUSBAND SLAYER'S TRIAL OPENS TODAY LOS ANGELES, March 13.—Mrs. Mathilda Levee, whose domestic troubles with Frederick R. Levee, former prominent attorney of Los Angeles, occupied the attention of the courts here and finally culminated in her shooting her husband to death on the street in New Orleans, was scheduled to go on trial today in the Southern city on a charge of murder. The shooting occurred last May after a hotly contested hearing here in the divorce courts and an unsuccessful attempt on the part of Mrs. Levee to collect alimony from her husband, who she contended, had an income of from $500 to $900 a month from his practice in this city. BELFAST CITIZEN IS SHOT IN DISARMING BELFAST, March 13.—A civilian was fatally wounded by a sentry early today while pedestrians were being disarmed by soldiers. He had refused to obey an order to halt. A loaded revolver was found upon making of which the Mexican women have a natural talent. The men, not to be outdone, planted vegetable gardens, and the cleaning up of all space about the houses, and removal of cows, goats, chickens, etc., to a distance followed. There is reason to respect the Mexicans, for in many a Mexican camp and community much talent if not genius is buried. The La Habra colony, for example, has a man, Francisco Espania, who gets $200 for wood carvings, stome of which are placed in Catholic churches in Los Angeles. A picture of a remarkable carving of the Christ was shown. Similarly out of mere leftover pieces of cloth and wood clever Biblical figures are made. To get the Mexicans stabilized is one serious problem. The recent cold spell resulted in several of the most desirable members of the La Habra colony moving away, while only two members in six months had gone before that, and they were compelled to leave. One method of keeping the Mexicans contented is always to have work for them, and that is difficult in the orange groves. Miss Mackey asked the aid of the Rotarians in helping to solve this problem. Co operation between businessmen of a community on the one hand and the health and school authorities on the other, she said, meant a great deal toward neighborization of all foreigners. The next speaker, Miss Kuehl, was introduced by the Rev. Thomas H. Walker, pastor of the Presbyterian church. Miss Kuehl said in effect: Anaheim has a good class of Mexican people in her colony. The Mexican mothers have done exceptionally well. But the time and equipment are lacking with which properly to instruct them. The work is done mostly through the schools. Miss Kuehl told how she got the children to wash their ears by adding a verse to the well known song, "This is the way we wash our ears," etc. Miss Doyle, school principal, knows Spanish fluently, said Miss Kuehl in response to a question from one of the members, and does excellent work with them. The local young Mexican men and women want to learn English, and at When Mrs. Obenchain took the stand at the resumption of the trial this morning Keyes announced that his cross-examination would be completed in an hour. Keyes was prepared to call several witnesses in rebuttal after the defense completed its case. It was expected that the final arguments of the attorneys to the jury will be started tomorrow morning. The indications today were that the case will go to the jury Wednesday noon. REPORT EX-KAISER DEAD IS DENIED LONDON, March 13.—A rumor that the former German kaiser is dead has been officially denied by the Dutch government, said a Central news dispatch from Amsterdam this afternoon. The rumor of the ex-emperor's death was not circulated in the United States although evidently it was in Holland. High School News Athletes are starting a week of strenuous practice: Especially is this so among the girls' base ball and tennis teams. Tomorrow the tennis sharks go to Fullerton to compete with the racket players there. The events will be the 1st and second girls and boys singles, the girls and boys doubles and the mixed doubles. Lined up for the singles are L. Poiler and M. Loranger for the girls and Gibbs and Callor for the boys. In the doubles the shining lights are J. McElheney, M. Carmichael and Gates, Janss. Cook and Amsbry are out for the mixed doubles. Coach Jacques' net players are putting lots of time in practice and should do some brilliant work the coming season. Coach Jacques' famous diamond girls will meet Burbank in a fast base ball game at that place Friday. This is only a practice game but the local girls desire to grab off every victory. The girls' athletic coaches of the county are meeting tonight to arrange the schedule for the base ball season. The juniors and seniors were in for a clash battle after school today to see who are the best base ball players. The winner will play the freshmen as they were the victors of the frosh-soph game.

S., writes: "For a considerable length of time Dr. Chase's preparations have been one of our staple lines of medicines. Our patrons find them highly available and satisfactory. We consider them among the leading sellers and we aim to always keep them for sale." Mr. C. A. McQuarrie, Druggist, Truro, N. S., writes: "We have known Clause's Medicines from childhood. Their sales were great then, but greater now, and Chase's goods are among the fastest selling lines. The motto 'Chase's Goods are Good' seems to be upheld throughout their entire line." Mr. W. D. Mitchell, Druggist, Prince Albert, Sask., writes: "We have handled Dr. Chase's Medicines for a considerable number of years, and find them one of the most satisfactory staple lines, and among the best sellers. They are easy to sell, and we feel that having made a sale of Dr. Chase's Medicines, we have gained a satisfied customer." The French classes entertained the students this morning in assembly period with a play. Under the direction of Frederick R. Schiller the classes presented "Blue Beard."

The play was thoroughly enjoyed by all present, including a number of mothers who were in the audience. least 10 of them personally have asked for instruction. Like Miss Mackey, the teachers start in the homes, so far as possible. It is observed that the lack of enough water in one part of the colony has resulted in its being much inferior in sanitation, etc., to the other part. If the men's organizations should get together much could be accomplished here, she thought. S. C. Hartranft, chairman of the committee, thanked the two speakers in behalf of the club.
